ORAL ORDER

1. This petition arises out of the impugned order dated

27.04.2026 passed in M.C No. 639/2025 by the Principal Judge,

Family Court, Bengaluru, whereby the application - I.A No.13 filed

by the respondent - father for interim custody/visitation rights for

half of the summer vacation was disposed of by the Family Court,

as hereunder:

"IA No.13 filed by the petitioner under Section

26 of the Hindu Marriage Act for interim

custody/visitation for half of the summer vacations is

disposed of with the following directions.

It is held that the petitioner-father shall have

interim custody of the daughter from 10 a.m. on 04-

05-2026 to 6 p.m. on 05-05-2026, and again from 10

a.m. on 07-05-2026 to 6 p.m. on 08-05-2026. This is

to ensure that the child gets used to staying

overnight with the father.

Once the child has got used to the same, in

the second week of May 2026, the father will have

interim custody of the daughter for continuous period

of 6 days from 10 a.m. on 11-05-2026 to 6 p.m. on

This will ensure balanced approach so that the

child can spend good time with both the parents

during the vacations.

Since separate arrangement has been made

during the summer vacations, the regular visitation

on every first and third Sunday shall be suspended

during the month of May 2026.

The parties are directed to strictly comply with

the timings and maintain healthy atmosphere during

the visitation so that the purpose of bonding between

the child and the father shall pick up and drop the

child at the aforesaid dated and times from and to

the residence of the respondent.

Further, the father shall ensure that during the

time the child is in his custody, the child shall speak

to the mother at least once a day so that the mother

can be assured of the whereabouts and safety of the

child.

Ordered accordingly.

For Petitioner’s evidence, call on 29.06.2026.”

2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that taking

advantage of the impugned order, the respondent is creating a

nuisance and unnecessarily involving the police authorities, thereby

causing irreparable injury and hardship not only to the petitioner but

also to the minor
